Subsurface structure of the Fukaya fault and its southeastern extension as perceived on seismic reflection profiles

Abstract: Several seismic reflection profiles obtained in the northwest Kanto Plain show that the Fukaya active fault certainly continues southeastward in the subsurface from Mikajiri to Kumagaya Bridge across the Ara River. The fault possibly extends further southeastward to the vicinity of the Yoshimi Hills. The SW-dipping fault plane of the Fukaya fault is inferred to be high angle at shallow part and low angle at deep part. The Konan and Kushibiki faults are interpreted as secondary faults of the Fukaya fault, and their fault planes correspond to the NE-dipping reflectors.
